Morgan Keim

Morgan spent ten years in startups, helping teams raise over $400M in venture capital. He watched founders build companies and end up with nothing when the music stopped, and concluded that high income without ownership is a nicer cage rather than freedom. He made his first passive investment in 2014, out of curiosity, and began moving what he earned building companies into assets that did not move with the market. Friends noticed and invested alongside him.

He founded Ocean Ridge Capital in 2020. The firm started as a direct operator, buying and turning around distressed multifamily, which is why it underwrites sponsors the way it does. Today it invests its own money alongside its investors in real estate, private credit and select alternatives, and declines almost everything it looks at. Morgan writes the answers on this site himself, and every page carries the date it was last reviewed.
